An unwanted program may have changed your system proxy settings. Open the control panel and search for Internet Options. Open that, then switch to the Connections tab and click LAN Settings. You should see a checkbox next to some text that starts off with Use a proxy server.... If it's checked, uncheck it and see if that removes the ads. Let us know if that solves the problem or not. – int_541 – 2014-12-17T06:27:57.457

The Proxy Server is not checked. Automatic Configuration , Automatically Detect Settings is checked. Can not access Internet with Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. I can access the internet with Safari for Windows. – ALan B – 2014-12-19T10:41:51.473

Try setting the proxy configuration to "no proxy", instead of "automatic configuration". – Ale – 2014-12-19T10:46:24.717

I used Windows Utility for the Last Known Good Configuration. When PC booted up I was then able to use all browsers to access the Internet.
